! trsry, small low noses denote weak charaC-
/ ters deficient IN government, even of them
selves, and slaves of their appetites, loves and
| hates, rather than persons guided by reason
and Judgment. The larga nosei, in critical
/ positions and circumstances of excitement,
! will be cool and self Possessed and competent
| to act more prudently than the small nosed,
Large noses are found chiefly among the in
hahltants Of mountainous regions and their

head to the point evInce rashness, carelesness
and self will, while noses that stand out
prominently represent characters that are
discantented with their present lot and are
anxious and aspiring But when the point OF

preston through the end, signaizes a logica,
and me,iItative mind A person whose nuce
reaches toward the mouth is cautious, bus is
specially considerate about bodily wants
Noses pr oJecting IN a straight line forward at
the base imply that their possessors are OF
quiet dispositions, regular habits, especially
In middle life. Round, knobby noses are
mostly connotatiSe Of speculative minds re-
tentive memory and musical tastes. The
small low round nose generally known as the
pug, turning up "A little at the point, signifies
a pert, forward, saucy, conceitei individual

ally IN temperate climates, and the gristly
feshy in the torrid zone Examples of the
gristly nose may he seen in the cat and all
other members OF the feline species The
straight nose inclines to science art polite
literature and political economy duly
educated thereto. But the nose of convex

and destructive inclination, is typifed by a
nose very broad at the base When the
lower portion Of the nose forms an obtuse
angle with the face, anu the point is elevated
